Snow Go - When the trains are snowed in at the sheds, Moscow comes to the rescue.

Production

All the visuals for this series were produced using the CGI software LightWave for the high cost of £4 million. ($7 million). The programme took a year to develop, 18 months to make and appeared on screen five years after creators John Deery and Sid Rainey first came up with the idea for the show. There were three times during the production process when everything was nearly lost.

Production started in October 2001 and finished in December 2003.

Trivia

Rumour has it that after a long period of being on the shelf, the BBC were planning to start airing this series in 2005, but delayed it after the London bombings of July in that year, at which point its broadcast would have been ill-timed.

This series aired in several stages across 2006.

The first twenty episodes aired throughout June.

Another week of new episodes aired in November.

The final episode went straight to DVD on November 20th 2006 before being broadcast on Christmas Day 2006.
